Ski holidays in Mont Tremblant

Canada's French cultural heritage informs every aspect of Quebec life - including the skiing. The narrow, cobbled streets and brightly painted buildings of Tremblant give this town a delightful Gallic feel.

A holiday in this picturesque Laurentian Mountain town is the closest you will get to European-style skiing in North America. Tremblant is Eastern Canada's most popular ski resort. Although it offers a smaller piste area than some of the Western resorts, it has a genuine appeal to all levels of skier and snowboarder. The spread of terrain across Tremblant's four skiing areas, Versant Sud, Versant Nord, Versant Soleil and Edge offer a good variety for even the keenest skiers. The extensive lifts and excellent snowmaking mean that conditions stay good throughout the season. In addition, Tremblant's three large terrain parks, cross-country skiing and good childcare facilities give the resort a great all-round appeal.
